My friend has a 90' eclipse and the engine is no good.. His turbo is fine... and i was wondering is it possible for me to take his turbo and install it into my n/a? i really would like to get some speed under the hood...ya know?

not without doing a lot of fabbing.....look in the FAQs on the top of this section....

 

$500 for custom mild steel tube exhaust manfold
$200 for custom oil and coolant lines
$1000 for stand-alone EMS install and tune
$200 for custom downpipe, intake pipe, and cone air filter

Can you afford it?

I would think that turbo would be a little small.

 

Yes, it'd be very small. And god damn Ted those are some crazy inflated prices!

 

Hey man, not all of us have hook-up's like you!

Those are "average" prices for a typical person might get quoted.
Of course, if you have connections, you're surely to do better.
Those numbers are on the high end of estimates, but not at all unreasonable?


-Ted

 

Yeah, they're very high up there, most of the people that turbocharge/supercharge use rubber hose & npt fittings for about $25. I'm in the process of converting mine to braided, so I'm not sure what that'll run. Most won't run a standalone (though I wish I did.... debating which one!) The exhaust manifold if you can find someone who can weld decently would be around $100, I don't even think they make a manifold to mount a 2G dsm turbo, so I don't think you'd have much else of a choice on that one. But, to support you cost list:

blow off valve
fuel pump
fuel pressure regulator
intercooler
injectors
IC piping
wideband tuning/or a wideband

Yes, it is damned expensive, and your prices are a good way of keeping the people with no idea of what they're doing from doing it, just thought they were a little high up for what was listed though.

 

Anything is posible with time and money

 

Why the hell do you need a stand alone?

 

You don't, but it's obviously one of the best routes you can go.

 

So you're saying you can do this with the stock ECU?


-Ted

 

Settle down, I was just asking why you need a standalone. Why would you need a stand alone if i can turbo my na with the stock t2 hitachi turbo without using a stand alone?

 

Because a standalone will let you adjust for the scares everyone has about bolting a turbo to a 6port block, high compression, the stock timing maps, and the fuel maps. It'll better let you adjust everything to stay safe, obviously run better than the s-afc can do for you, and provide more ignition control/etc.

 

Sure, you can install the turbo, but will is work efficiency?
No.

Will it run?
Sure, it's possible it'll run.

Will the standalone EMS control everything better?
Can I get a "Hell yeah!"?


-Ted

 

i heard the verts ECU was made for turbo

 

Or you can run an S-AFC on the N/a ecu like I'm doing... Although Ted would kill you for such a thing.

 

I am running a 91 N/A turbo with a N374 just fine. No EMS, no S-AFC.

My buddy is running a 89 T2 with a n350.

We all now it is possible because we have all done it.

 

save some money, the bov is totally not needed

 

just save your money and buy yourself a t2... =)

 

Sure, just go ahead and kill your turbo...

 

I had an NA,
wanted more power,
did the research,
sold the NA, and
bought a "fixer-upper" turbo.

 

It would be way easier and cheaper to buy a TII, but for some people like me who have had there car for a while ( 7 years for me) have too much time and money already invested to sell it. I am turboing mine right now, and have already gone over 1000$ and don't even have all the parts yet.

 

I hope you know you're dead wrong. My whole car cost me under $2000, that's including plates & registration. It's not very expensive to do if you can make things yourself and can get decent deals on the items you use. It's actually pretty cheap, a lot cheaper than I could ever find a tII for.

 

if you dont want to use the 2g Turbo Send it to me! I need one for my accord :P

What do you mean by that? Every vert ive ever seen has been N/A. Why would they put a turbo ECU into a N/A car?
